  1. Don't worry. A lot of us don't. Even when they have good things going for them, they still manage to screw that all up.

  2. They adjust their expectations to who they are marrying. If they obviously like the guy and he is a foreigner, none of that dowry garbage means a damn thing.

  3.  @blume0121  Women nowadays are being raised to be princesses and are led to believe that they are more special than they think they are. A lot of them don't have what it takes to make a marriage work. I don't think it's just love. You can fall out of love for someone if they aren't putting in the work in a marriage. It's all about commitment and hard work, which hopefully has love as its foundation.

  4.  @blume0121  The point I was trying to make is that all this "stuff" about dowry, having a house, a car is a stupid societal construct of Chinese society. If they really liked a guy, do you really think that stuff ultimately matters in the end? You already implied in your answer that it clearly doesn't. So why would they adjust their expectations for foreign men and not their own men? That's all I was saying. So what is all this stuff about dowry, a house, and a car for? Modern Chinese women approach marriage as a transaction, which is a big turn off for most men. So it only follows that they remain single. If her delusions trump her sense of humility, she won't be a good wife, and she won't be a good mother. Most men know this, which is why they steer clear of these women. No good redeeming qualities, and too old to change. She already put herself out of the market a long time ago, she just doesn't know it yet. And when a lot of them find out. It's too late.
